    We wanted to go on a cruise next year june or july total of 9 (6 adults, 3 kids below 18) need tips on booking our stateroom

    Hi, DeLosSantos!

    I’m glad you reached out to planDisney. Planning a Disney Cruise Line vacation for a big crew like yours sounds like such an exciting adventure!

    When traveling with a larger party, I suggest checking out connecting staterooms. They’re similar to adjoining hotel rooms, with an interior door that lets everyone move between the two spaces easily. Most staterooms sleep between three and five Guests, so pairing two connecting rooms is a great option for groups of your size.

    To see what’s available, start by entering your travel dates and party size on the Disney Cruise Line website. Once you choose a sailing, you’ll reach the stateroom selection page. Make sure your full party is listed, then choose "Add Another Stateroom" if it doesn’t appear automatically. You can also turn on the "Connecting Rooms" filter, which will highlight the options that link together. On the deck plans, connecting rooms are marked with a small icon between them, making them easy to spot.

    If you would prefer everyone to be close together rather than in connecting staterooms, you can use the deck plans to pick staterooms that are side‑by‑side or just across the hall. It’s a great way to keep your group together without everyone needing to share the same space.

    For help sorting through options or making sure your whole group is booked correctly, the Disney Cruise Line reservations team is wonderful to work with. Also, don’t forget to peek at the Special Offers page from time to time in case a promotion is available for your sailing!

    DeLosSantos, I hope your group finds the perfect itinerary to make unforgettable memories together. Whenever you’re ready for more planning tips, planDisney is always here to help!

    Happy sailing!
